In accordance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (AML/CFT Act), all investors are required to verify their identity, including details such as name, date of birth, and address. Providing this information through the Investor Portal is a quick and simple process.


What you need:

  • Smartphone with a camera

  • A valid driver’s license or passport

Tips for a smooth process:

  • Position yourself in good light for a selfie picture

  • Make sure your identity document is clearly visible

  • Avoid glare, blurriness, or obstructions

  • Remove hats, sunglasses, or anything that may cover your face


Step 1: Begin Verification

  • Log in to the Investor Portal.

  • Locate the Verify your Identity notification and select Complete Now.

  • You will be directed to the verification wizard. Click Verify Now to begin.


Step 2: Choose Your Document

  • Select the issuing country for your document.

  • Choose the type of document you will upload (e.g. passport, driver’s licence).


Step 3: Take a Picture of the Document

  • Follow the prompts to take a clear picture of your document.

  • Ensure the entire document is visible and legible.

  • Avoid blurry images or glare, as this may affect verification.


Step 4: Capture a Selfie

  • Align your face with the outline on the screen and capture a selfie.

  • Ensure the room is well-lit and remove glasses if necessary.

  • Review your selfie and proceed to upload for completion.


Step 5: Verification and Results

  • Your details will be securely verified using Onfido’s identity verification technology.

  • This process includes cross-checking your document with your selfie to confirm authenticity and performing fraud checks.

  • Once completed, the result will be shared with your fund manager in line with AML/CFT Act requirements.

  • You will be contacted by your fund manager if further information is required.


If you have any questions or need help at any stage, please contact your fund manager for support.
